I just checked earnings for yesterday and I have half the impressions I normally get despite having similar traffic to the previous days.
What's going on?
@Krzysztof Willman,
No idea. It is same with me too
My page views on Tuesday dropped by 2% from Monday, according to Google Analytics. But my HP ad impressions drop by 48%. Something seems to be amiss.
There was a technical issue with ads that started yesterday and we believe was resolved this morning. Earnings may be a little off on the 28th, but should be back to normal on the 29th.
Thanks for the update though it's unfortunate that technical issues made us lose out on earnings yesterday but that's out of your hands.
Perhaps this is merely a coincidence, but my traffic went down by about 25% and CPM was half of what it normally is.
All I know is that the impressions are exactly half of what they should be. I'm hoping it's an error because there's no way that can be right.
Ads were not showing up on our pages for more than 20 hours. That's what I observed.
Well I'd like to know what happened then because that's a major decline, and I'm glad it's not just me.
Yes, the same happened with me. Drop of about 50% in Adsense pageviews, in spite of increased traffic on HP. Maybe the ads were not loading for some reason.
Hope it's all some mistake, or just a temporary blip, I had a big drop like others!

I just checked my earnings panel, and I was quite surprised to see that my earnings from yesterday were 2 cents. They have been in the range of 20 cents to about 75 cents a day. Yesterday was actually a fairly high traffic day for me, and that doesn't make sense. Any idea why it would be that low,...

My Adsense earnings (not the ad program earnings) dropped by two-thirds yesterday yet I have the same amount of traffic as always. This has never happened before. Did I miss some kind of FYI that the page restructuring was going to affect Adsense earnings? This is bunk.

This month my CPM for the HP Ad Program is super low. It's been under $1.50 every day so far. And last month I had a lot of days where it was under $2. Wondering why that is and if it's just happening to me or if others are experiencing this as well.

Okay - It seems there was an update to the definition of our earnings. I cannot say when it occurred.Basically we are paid for pageviews. One payment per view of article, regardless of how many ads are delivered to the reader, unless they back out before the first ad is actually viewed. Then we...
